    Citation Excerpt :

    Various approaches including chemical, physical, and electrochemical methods are developed to prepare CNT/MNP composites [36–40]. Chemical oxidation can improve the solubility of CNTs and their coordinative complexation with metallic precursors by introduction of carboxyl groups onto the CNT surfaces [41]. However, due to the low content and inhomogeneous distribution of carboxyl groups on the CNT surfaces, depositing MNPs directly onto the CNT generally results in non-uniform MNPs in shape and size with low particulate coverage [42].

    Citation Excerpt :

    Other functional organic and inorganic materials can be attached to CNTs in order to harness most of their unique properties. Within such applications, coupling CNTs to semiconducting nanocrystals, specifically quantum dots (QDs) has emerged as an active field [19–28]. The wavelength response of quantum dots can be tuned by varying their size, leading to end products of unique electronic and optical properties [29,30].

    2017, Carbon
    Citation Excerpt :

    In photocatalytic degradation for instance, the interactions between the CNTs and the semiconductor particles are known to have an effect on the catalytic properties of the composites [18]. Synthesis approaches using electrostatics [23–25], which avoids the use of small organic bridging molecules [26,27] to bind the CNT to the semiconductors could improve the adhesion between the binary components. However the interactions between the binary components have to be tuned in order to gain full control over the aggregation behaviour.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Many authors have reported successful decoration of CNTs with semiconductor NPs. Shi et al. attached CdS NPs on MWCNTs [8], Ravindram et al. covalently coupled ZnS capped CdSe to acid-treated MWCNTs [9], and others have proposed methods to attach other semiconductors, such as TiO2 [10] and SnO2 [11] to CNTs, thus presenting the possibility of the CNTs functioning as a charge collector. The CdS/CNT composite is of particular interest, since it was shown that it is capable of generating photocurrent from visible light with unusually high efficiency [12].

    Citation Excerpt :

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as ideal carriers because of their large surface area, inert chemical property, and one-dimensional structure [10]. Recently, efforts have also been focused on modification of CNTs with semiconductive metal oxides and sulfides such as TiO2[11–13], ZnO [14], ZnS [15] and CdS [16]. Combination of semiconductor with CNTs will lead to nanocomposites possessing the properties of both components, or even with a synergistic effect, which would be advantageous in the field of photocatalysis and photoelectrical devices [17].
